Is Rose The Only Strawweight Who Can Beat Joanna?

[pcbh167]

Joanna was dominating every fighter she faced and everyone thought she was unbeatable until she lost to Rose.

Rose has the perfect skillset to beat Joanna. She has fluid striking, she's precise with her punches and she's good at moving in and out.

However, I honestly don't think any other Strawweight fighter can beat Joanna; she's beaten most of the top ranked and best Strawweight fighters.

She's the only one who has proved it.

Now that Joanna's ego has been hurt tremendously, we'll find out.

 

[Fight Professor]

Yes unless Joanna has lost all her confidence. Or she can become the next Aldo/JDS.

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Joanna is the Rich Franklin of the 30 year old class of 145

Eh maybe you could say that after the first fight where she was destroyed in round 1, but not now after coming back and having a really close rematch. And if Rose ends up losing to Karolina or Andrade down the road that will just boost Joanna even more knowing she already beat them. Will be interesting to see Rose's next fight, especially if it is against Andrade.

Loli Tornado would have a solid chance IMO, she outstruck Rose even in their second fight and lost to last minute takedowns. Would be a really good fight to make too.

 

[GSPSAKU]

Quite possibly. I do think Joanna would defeat everyone. Rose is the one that gives her trouble.

Gadelha took 2 rounds from her. She can beat her in a 3 round fight or if she knocks her out, but I would favor Joanna over 5.

Since Joanna is no longer the champion, if they booked them in a non-main event I could see Gadelha winning a 3 round fight. Also keep in mind, Gadelha got a knockdown in the first round in their rematch, so that's the only other person (and circumstance) I can see right now having a chance at defeating Joanna.

However, Gadelha is 0-2 against Joanna, so it's tough to sell a third fight (much like it's tough to sell a third fight for Namajunas vs. Joanna). And this is why they shouldn't have booked an immediate rematch for Joanna.

As @acannxr said already, Claudia has a chance to beat Joanna in a 3 round fight.

As for another strawweight with a chance, maybe the wrestler Tatiana Suarez would be able to take Joanna down and keep her down.

I agree. I've always thought Tatiana would have a good chance at beating Joanna.

Also, I think Joanne Calderwood would give Joanna a tough fight. I think she could catch Joanna with a spinning backfist like she did to Valerie Létourneau and knock her out.

Clowdja beat Joanna, but the judges fucked her

She also dominated Joanna until she gassed in the rematch

We may get a chance to see that fight if Joanna moves up to flyweight. Jo Jo seems to be getting ready to return to the octagon, so perhaps there'll be a fight announcement for her soon. I hope so, at any rate.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

She’s in the same boat JDS and Rory were in a while back, better than everyone but the champ.

That would be great!

125 is Jo Jo's ideal weight class to fight at, so it would definitely be an amazing fight.

Also, apparently Antonina Schevchenko is going to fight in the 125 division. I'd like to see her fight Joanna

Antonina and Valentina in the same weight division? Have there ever been siblings in the same division before? Would they be willing to fight each other?

JoJo? Fucking lol. Man, I've always loved JoJo, but she is slow as hell and has fuck all striking defense. She would be Joanna's easiest fight by far.
